    Will she ever forgive them for abandoning her? Will they ever be able to unveil her secrets? Where was she for all those years? This is story of a girl who was abandoned by her brothers when she was seven. Now, after 9 years, her brothers brought her back home. How will she deal with them, simultaneously dealing with the terrors that haunt her every night? Sneak Peak- Once we were out, I stopped and turned to face my blood relatives and said, "Okay, now that I am out you don't need to act anymore. Now, you guys can go back to your house and pretend that this never happened. I will go to my house and will make sure that we will not cross each other's path, even by accident." I was about to turn back when Ezekiel held my elbow, stopping me on my track. I immediately snatched my hand back glaring at him and said, "Do not ever touch me again." His eyes showed an emotion of hurt that I am sure I read incorrectly because one thing that Kensington brothers are incapable of was getting hurt by any outsider. And that was what I was. An outsider. Sensing the tension in the atmosphere Aldric took it upon himself to say whatever his brother was about to. "You are going with us." He spoke. One thing about Aldric Kensington was that once he has made his mind, there is nothing in this world that can change his decision. This is the very quality of his that made my life a living nightmare, and this is exactly why I hate him more than any of my brothers. "Let's go Athaliah," Ezekiel said this time. That name. No one has called me by that name in six years. "My name is Zahra," I corrected and continued, "And I am not going with you." #1 in pastabuse #1 in abusing #1 in nightterror on 27/02/25 #1 in running on 2/2/25, 26/4 #1 in babysister on 15/12/24 #1 in brothersconflict on 27/12/24 #2 in abandoned #2 in broken #2 in brokenfamily #4 in olderbrother #5 in mafiaprincess #9 in siblings #3 in siblingrivalry #18 in trauma #34 in littlesister #59 in mafia

For as long as Clara Mills has remembered, she has found herself running from the shadows that whisper her name, wait outside her bedroom door and they always seem to get closer. She's spent years trying to tell the difference between reality and illusion, but she knows one thing for certain that Regina Mills is her mother. When Henry brings their birth mother to Storybrooke, Clara's carefully built world begins to fall apart. As the town awakens and magic returns, so does the ancient darkness that has been waiting for Clara all along. *first person OC* *I don't own any of the characters in this story except the OCs* Starts at the beginning of S1

"H-hey, hi! W-wait! " I called out. He stopped and turned, then raised a brow at my panting state. Once I regained my composure I stared at him, the paper with the drawing of him still in my hold. My grey eyes met his honey brown ones and I almost melted into them. They were the most beautiful orbs I've ever seen. The light honey brown gloss with streaks of chocolate browns in them..calling for my attention and I gladly gave it. He cleared his throat and I snapped out of my daydream. "S-sorry, you j-just have p-pretty eyes. " I stuttered out the compliment. He didn't reply and my freckled face went red. "H-here, I'm s-sorry if it's r-rude but I-I ma-made a drawing..f-for you. " I stuttered. My hands reached out and handed him the piece of paper. "B-bye." I turned and started walking away but stopped and turned back to stare at him. "H-have a n-nice day! " I added again, his eyes peeled away from the drawing and stared at me. Those cold honey browns melted into something I couldn't quite understand but I still smiled at him then walked off. ☁︎☁︎☁︎ ‒𝐀𝐋𝐋 π‘πˆπ†π‡π“π’ 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐄𝐃 𝐍𝐄𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐀 Β©πŸπŸŽπŸπŸ” ☁︎☁︎☁︎

    Never have I thought I would have to bring weapons to my school, well. Nothing changes. HYDRA always said: "Be armed. Always. You never know who will be the one to betray you." For me, it was the Avengers forcing me to have weapons in my bag. Well, Nat insisted I bring a gun. ("You never know, Ellie.") Thor left a sword in my room. ("For glory!") And Loki... well, he just slipped a dagger into my bag with a wink. Almost forgot about Bucky giving me a grenade. ("If someone annoys you.") The funniest thing? They all think they're the only one who gave me a weapon. Normal teenagers worry about forgetting their sneakers. I just hope no one asks why my bag sounds like a medieval armory. ----------------------------------------- Ellie Light Stark is the daughter of Tony Stark and Pepper Potts until one night Hydra got a hold of her, and she never saw her parents again. She spent her childhood in the Red Room, then back in HYDRA. They taught her to kill and show no mercy. And she didn't; she never hesitated to pull the trigger. She was brainwashed and experimented on, which gave her powers. She could wield water and electricity. One day she meets the Maximoff twins, and she finally gets hope. They try to escape, but they fail miserably. Avengers then save Ellie, and she is saved for the first time in years. After years, she finally found her family; she's allowed to heal with the Avengers. But where are the Maximoffs? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- TW: torture, experiments, scars, violence, strong language, blood, trauma, brainwashing PTSD PS: I don't own any MARVEL characters, only Ellie πŸ₯‡ In Hawkeye 2026 πŸ₯‡Thor 2026 3 place: Nightmares from 25.3k

    In the marshes at the edge of the world, a lizardfolk boy keeps count of his days in the bark of a tree, and out on the Breach the mist has begun to breathe. On a river between two lords, a ferrywoman carries a girl across the water on the King's word and learns what that word costs. On a prison rock off the city of Greymist, a branded sellsword with no name holds court every morning for a rook, and his mouth is about to cost him more than his face. And in a village called Greenest, a girl starts to dream. Revelya is an empire under a Hooded King, whose word travels with his riders and is kept by the Hush, who come on wings in the night when it is broken. Dark Signs is the first book of The Revelyan Chronicles. Based on my worldbuilding, characters and plot, built from a 2015 manuscript and from an old D&D campaign of mine. Draft chapters posted for reader feedback: tell me where you got bored, what confused you, and which of the four protagonists you'd follow first. The story comes down before the book is published.

    You know that feeling just before you fall asleep, when you are not quite unconscious but the world has gone soft at the edges and anything feels possible? That is what the mansion does to Nuea. That is what it feels like from the very first night. Like standing on the border of something. Like the air is thinner here and the dark is deeper and whatever lives in the space between the walls has been saving this particular feeling, this particular pull, for him and him alone. He inherited a house. He was supposed to sell it. He was not supposed to feel, in a place this cold and this broken and this haunted, like he had finally come home. Nearly two hundred years of secrets are buried in these walls. One of them is about to find him.

    The Dream Log is a record of dreams as they are experienced and remembered: strange, mundane, vivid, and occasionally impossible to explain. I sometimes entertain the notion that dreams are fleeting glimpses into other planes of existence, where other versions of ourselves live out distant lives. Perhaps we do not invent these strange worlds so much as stumble upon them. Or perhaps the mind is simply a peculiar thing. Join us on this voyage into the dreamscape.

    My mom always had one rule: never take the old lift. I listened-until midnight, when my best friend convinced me to sneak out while our parents were asleep. We just wanted to go to the terrace to play, but the new elevator was too far down the hallway.Rule #1: Avoid the old elevator at all costs. Rule #2: Never ride it after midnight. Rule #3: If you see a floor button higher than 8... do not press it.

    Do you trust me? Yash Singh, an 18-year-old boy, is the kind of guy who turns heads the moment he walks into a room-not just because of his ridiculously good looks, but because of the aura he carries. Cold, quiet, and unreadable, yet his presence demands attention. He's the perfect mix of mystery and sarcasm, making people drawn to him even when he doesn't try. Being a billionaire at such a young age, Yash has everything-money, power, and influence. But behind all the luxury, he hides a dark secret, something no one could ever guess. A secret that could change everything. Shivani Khanna, a 17-year-old beautiful and introverted girl, dedicates her life to her family. She always puts others first, caring deeply for those around her, yet she often ends up hurt by the very people she loves. Despite her kindness, she struggles in a toxic family environment, carrying the weight of her emotions in silence. Yet, despite the pain, she never stops believing in goodness. She keeps loving, keeps giving, even when it costs her. Because that's who she is-a girl who carries the weight of her own heartbreak with a soft smile, never letting the world see how much it truly hurts. But fate has its own way of bringing them together. Will he fall for her? And will she allow him to see her scars? What if she ever discovers the one secret he's hiding from everyone? Will he fall for her, or will he drown in her eyes? Will they let each other see the wounds they hide? They are imperfect, but together they are perfect. For them, even the stars will shine, and her belief in fireflies will glow brighter. She loves the rain, and he loves watching her in the rain. "Shivani, aap khud nahi jaanti aap kitni pyaari ho. Jaan ho hamari, par jaan se bhi zyada pyaari ho. Dooriyon ke hone se koi farq nahi padta. Aap kal bhi hamari thi, aaj bhi hamari ho..."
